"Christine and I were opposing counsel on a case many years ago which we were able to resolve amicably. Since then, we have kept in touch and given each other advice and counsel on our respective cases. I respect her abilities as a lawyer and appreciate receiving her valuable feedback as a colleague. I would recommend her for all labor and employment law work."
"Christine is very helpful in her answers and is an excellent attorney. I have no hesitations in referring her clients."
